Cultural Diversity

The capital of the UAE , Abu Dhabi, has expanded to contain more than 100 different cultures and nationalties. 50 years ago there was only one culture.


Most of the local culture had the same  language, Arabic, the same religion, Islam, and the same traditions such as camel racing & falconry.


With all of this cultural diversity today, still the original tradition culture exists, and it's a part of the local daily life.


We can see that Abu Dhabi has become like some of the biggest capitals around the world with cultural diversity. The life style in the capital has become more cosmopolitan.
